Wireless communication device and wireless communication method

Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication device performing communications by using a radio frame containing a control channel and a data channel, the wireless communication device comprises of a structuring unit that allocates a first part of the control channel adjacent to the data channel in the radio frame, and allocates a second part of the control channel, which denotes different control information from the first part, to the data channel so as to be inserted between data of the data channel and a transmission unit that transmits the radio frame including the data channel and the control channel.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A wireless communication device performing communications by using a radio frame containing control information transmitted by a control channel and data transmitted by a data channel, the wireless communication device comprising:
 a structuring unit that allocates a first part of the control information and a second part of the control information, which denotes different control information from the first part, to the control channel, allocates the second part of the control information to the data channel so as to be inserted between the data transmitted by the data channel, and allocates, to the data channel, in-band information which indicates whether the second part of the control information is allocated to the data channel and a location where the second part of the control information in the data channel is allocated; and 
 a transmission unit that transmits the radio frame including the data including the second part of the control information and the in-band information and the location, and the control information. 
 
     
     
       2. The wireless communication device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first part of the control information denotes control information relating to a result of error detection for a received signal, and the second part of the control information denotes a channel quality indicator. 
     
     
       3. A method for a wireless communication device performing communications by using a radio frame containing control information transmitted by a control channel and data transmitted by a data channel, the method comprising:
 allocating, by a control information making unit, a first part of the control information and a second part of the control information, which denotes different control information from the first part, to the control channel; 
 allocating, by a data structuring unit, the second part of the control information to the data channel so as to be inserted between the data transmitted by the data channel, and allocating, to the data channel, in-band information which indicates whether the second part of the control information is allocated to the data channel and a location where the second part of the control information in the data channel is allocated; and 
 transmitting the radio frame including the data including the second part of the control information and the in-band information and the location, and the control information.
